SPRG NEXT SESSION | Sustainability and Business Value
In recent years, the adoption of sustainability and ESG approaches has become more widespread. However, much of this activity remains superficial, with many targets and KPIs focused on activity indicators rather than actual performance. Over the past 25+ years of advising companies, we have consistently encountered the challenge of integrating sustainability into strategic relevance.
While regulation and reporting are crucial, the increasing complexity of disclosure requirements and broad ESG mandates can divert attention from the broader impacts and strategic direction of the business. Reducing impacts is essential for a sustainable future, but it’s not just about reduction. Viewing sustainability through the lenses of compliance, restriction, and reduction can hinder long-term value creation.
